Chapter 57 I'll cripple you
Jiang Zhi gripped the target tightly and walked towards the north side of Qinghe Street. There were more people on the north side, so she walked quite quickly.
She felt something was off about today, so off that she sensed something was wrong.
We're almost at the carriage.
Under the cover of darkness, Yu Cigui secretly followed her from a secluded spot not far away.
-
In another private room at Huaxiatang, a young man watched the girl in red leave, his eyes darkening.
"Jiang Zhi, Jiang Zhi, impulsiveness comes at a price."
The man was dressed in a dark satin robe with a jade belt around his waist. He had sword-like eyebrows that reached his temples, and was handsome, but full of scheming.
He is none other than the current Prince Jing, Gu Yuan.
The bodyguard beside him said, "This Princess Liang looks quite refreshed, unlike the rumors."
Gu Yuan flicked his sleeves and snorted, "Of course, but,"
"I am very curious about how the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion managed to escape unscathed from the Liang Prince's clutches in the Linlangfang incident a few days ago."
"The King of Liang has never liked the Jiang family, so why would he suddenly marry a woman from the Jiang family?"
"Could it be that the Marquis of Zhenyuan has become the King of Liang's man?" the guard asked.
Gu Yuan shook her head: "Impossible."
"Gu Liang went to the Northern Barbarians back then thanks to the Marquis of Zhenyuan."
"How could the Marquis of Zhenyuan possibly conspire with Gu Liang?"
"Unless there is another reason."
Gu Yuan still couldn't figure it out, so she flicked her sleeves.
"That's it, that's it."
After saying that, he pushed open the door to the private room without hesitation and went into the inner room.
Inside the room, behind the partially obscured bed curtains, lay a woman dressed in a light pink, transparent gauze dress.
When the woman saw the man come in, her voice became cloying and affectionate.
"Brother Yuan, why are you so late?"
"What's so interesting outside that you're so engrossed in looking around? But no matter how interesting it is, is it as beautiful as Luan'er?"
Gu Yuan walked into the room, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip.
With a languid expression and a playful tone, he asked, "Guess what I just saw?"
Jiang Luan frowned slightly and shook her head. "Luan'er doesn't know, could it be that Brother Yuan has taken a fancy to some girl?"
Gu Yuan chuckled lightly, "It is indeed a girl, from the Jiang family."
Hearing this, Jiang Luan pursed her lips, her face blushing shyly. She thought Gu Yuan was referring to him and her.
She said shyly, "Brother Yuan, you're so annoying."
Gu Yuan looked at the woman in the account book with disdain.
He picked up a bowl of dark, medicinal soup from the table, approached the bed, and lifted the bed curtains.
He glanced at her up and down, then held the medicine in his hand to her lips.
"Drink."
Jiang Luan pursed her lips, looking at the bowl of black medicine in front of her, somewhat hesitant.
She and Gu Yuan had maintained this ambiguous relationship for some time, and even though she had secretly poured away the medicine several times, she still couldn't conceive his child.
Now, he's forcing her to take medicine, and right in front of him.
"What? Don't you want to drink?"
"You should know that your mother does not like you and is not happy to see us together. Besides, you are already engaged."
"When the time is right, I will rightfully marry you and bring you into the Eastern Palace."
Jiang Luan stretched out her delicate body and slowly hugged Gu Yuan's waist, saying coquettishly, "But Brother Yuan, Luan'er loves you and wants to have your child, mmm~"
"I will break off my engagement with the Marquis of Guangde's family. I would even be willing to be your concubine."
Gu Yuan remained silent for a long time before replying, "I've already said it, it's not the right time for us yet."
"I know of your love."
"Our relationship must never be exposed, nor can it be known to Mother."
Jiang Luan bit her lip, somewhat helpless.
Seeing Gu Yuan's determination, she had no choice but to drink the medicine.
She drank the dark, bitter soup in one gulp with a furrowed brow.
After finishing her medicine, she placed the bowl on the table, then hooked onto Gu Yuan's jade belt and went to bed.
Then, all that remained was the uncontrollable passion between the two.
On the other side, Jiang Zhi walked forward, clutching an arrow tightly in his hand.
After walking a short distance, she noticed someone following her, so she quickened her pace.
The people behind them quickened their pace.
Immediately afterwards, that nauseating voice reached my ears, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"You think you can just run away after winning the lantern?"
Jiang Zhi turned around fiercely and saw Yu Cigui looking at her with a smile, his eyes full of strangeness.
She gripped the arrow tightly, watching the man approaching her, and said coldly, "It's you?"
"You actually dared to follow Princess Liang, you've got some nerve."
Yu Cigui approached her step by step, his eyes scrutinizing her, and he took out a small bottle from his sleeve.
Jiang Zhi's eyes flickered, and when she looked up, her gaze fell on Yu Cigui's back. Suddenly, she trembled and exclaimed in surprise.
"Your Highness, save me!"
Upon hearing the words "Your Highness," Yu Cigui subconsciously turned around, only to find nothing but darkness behind him.
Just as he turned his head, Jiang Zhi suddenly swung down the sharp target in his hand, mercilessly stabbing it into the man's crotch.
The sound of an arrow piercing flesh exploded in my ears.
Jiang Zhi said coldly, "Today, I'll do a good deed and cripple you first, then let you experience your little gadget."
The man screamed repeatedly as blood instantly stained his crotch.
The excruciating pain made him kneel on the ground, and the bottle in his hand fell to the ground.
Jiang Zhi looked down at him, her tone dismissive, "It's nothing special."
"Ahhh—"
Yu Cigui was in so much pain that sweat poured down his forehead. He gritted his teeth and pulled the arrow out along with the flesh and blood. He then lunged at Jiang Zhi.
"You dare to play me."
The moment the man lunged at her, Jiang Zhi suddenly stretched out her leg and kicked him hard, sending him crashing to the ground.
Yu Cigui was kicked to the ground, his face turning pale with pain, and a purse embroidered with snowflakes fell out of his body.
Jiang Zhi immediately went over and picked up the purse.
This purse was probably left by the person who instructed him.
She scoffed, "I didn't expect you to have a woman's purse on you, young master."
Yu Cigui glared fiercely at Jiang Zhi, then suddenly stood up and pounced on her.
Before he could get over, Jiang Zhi opened the bottle and sprinkled the contents on him.
The man screamed in agony, and instantly went berserk, running wildly around.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Zhi quickly stepped back a few paces.
She ran, with the man chasing relentlessly behind her.
She could see no light ahead in the pitch black.
She suddenly glanced back and saw an unfamiliar figure behind Yu Cigui.
"what!"
Then a "thud" was heard, and the man fell to the ground.
Jiang Zhi was panting heavily when she saw the boy's appearance in the shadows.
She felt he looked somewhat familiar.
"Master!"
Upon hearing the boy call him "Master," Jiang Zhi was taken aback.
"Who is your master?" Jiang Zhi asked.
“I’m the one from the gambling den that day, do you remember me? My name is Lou Shuangxin,” the boy said, leaning closer.
"do not remember."
The boy explained again, "It's okay, it's okay if you don't remember."
"Your gambling skills are amazing! I want to become your apprentice!"
Jiang Zhi narrowed her eyes.
She remembered him; he was the one who had bet on Zhou Tongli back then, and he even encouraged others around them to bet on Zhou Tongli. In fact, she should thank him.
